Sorry, for busting this strip a day late, but I’m currently on my last legs.
- The Devil: Can you see the map?
- Larisa: Yes. It’s like having a third eye. It’s–
- Steve Jobs: –magical!
- Larisa: How can I save Sandra?
- The Devil: Transform the mall into a battleground! But one that fits your fighting style, not the angels’.
- The Devil: You should also arm yourself for the battle against the heavenly killer diggers. Here, take this fake ID and $9999.99.
- Larisa: $9999.99?
- The Devil: Every expense of $10,000 or more needs to go through the full purchase order approval process first. And that always takes weeks!
- Larisa: I’m starting to despise upper management!
- The Devil: That’s the spirit!

The irony of the dollar amount you chose. By US banking law any cash transaction that is 10,000 or more must be reported to the government. Im not sure if you are someone in the know about such things or if it was blind luck, but it made me laugh.
But some car dealers making business over 10.000 $! And They do it with hand-to-hand cash!
@ Katana:
The U.S. regulation does not forbid cash transactions greater than $10,000. It requires that such transactions be reported to the IRS via form 8300.
“Last legs”? Are you okay, Novil? Tired, sleepy, sick, or worse…? D=
Please be safe!
@ Ty:
Or a centaur amputee?
@ Ty:
Probably tired. If he was suddenly dying, he I don’t think he’d beat around the bush.
We appreciate your dedication, but if you’re sick or just not feeling up to par, please take some time for yourself. We can wait a few extra days (or however long it takes)-everyone’s health behind the scenes at S+W is the most important thing.
i shudder to think what kind of weaponry larissa will come up with – flamethrower is a given, but lets not forget past experiences with a bulldozer….heck, i wouldn´t be surprised if she knows how to mix nitroglycerin, if not, i´m sure yuna would be happy to help 😉 or simply ransack ye thuza´s stores….
one way or another, i´m predicting this poor mall won´t be standing afterwards!
– “This is the voice of God! Tomorrow, you will propose a tax on flamethrowers, designed to raise the price of all flamethrowers over the $10,000 threshold! Do this, and I will forgive you the misuse of your public office, and the three thousand, eight hundred and ninety-one lies that you have told in the process of obtaining and keeping it.”
– *whimper* “Yes, Lord!”

$9999.99 upside-down is 66.6666$, But what does that mean!? 😛
I’m contemplating what the angels are used to fighting against, fire and brimstone or something more cosmic.
Lol, Steve Jobs sure is proud of his H-phone…
We hope you feel better Novil, under the weather we all get.
@ Harrow:
That is IRS reporting. Speaking as someone who has had to deal with spend accounts, there are levels where below you can just spend it, and above you need authorization.
Turn a mall into a Battleground, Larisa’s style?
Wow, There will be NOT a cold night in Hell, but a BURNING HOT DAY in Heaven! DX
@ Bum:
Even more ironic is that repeatedly engaging in transactions of $9XXX can get you in trouble anyway for “structuring.”
maybe i should mention around this time that i have completely forgotten the purpose of this arc and what’s even happening anymore

I’m with you but still enjoying the story, I’m sure it’s about to pick up the pace; I predict combustibles.
Could be worse; the alternative is possibly no comic at all or something involving a spirit dragon. 😛
If her arsenal includes combustible lemons I’ll love you forever…
@ SKy:
Lol, I love you right now.

I’m with the others looking forward to seeing Larissa turn the mall into a battleground and/or a big smoking crater, but there’s one thought that immediately occurred to me that nobody has brought up yet. Isn’t the fake ID a bit superfluous? Seriously, we’re supposed to believe that Larissa doesn’t already have one of those, if not a dozen or two?
Giving a girl like her a fortune and a false ID, this can only end in the Mall being turned into an inferno and Sandra being slowly burned away as well.
Either that, or someone using alot of rocket launchers.
Never hate the minions, always aim the sword towards the upper management controlling minions.
She’s only “starting” to despise it just now?
Oh Larissa, and here I thought we had something in common.
Also yes, if you’re feeling down in any way or form (emotional, physical, artistic…), take a break. That’s kinda part of creative process and comics that lasted as long as this one are no exception.
$9,999.99?! That’s not enough for her to buy a Churchill Crocodile Flamethrower Tank!
ah only took 5 stright hours but im all caught up…
how old are they now?
@ myth buster:
You are right. If multiple transactions occur in the same day that exceed $10,000 that are considered to be related they are supposed to be reported.
I’m loving this arc so much
Welcome to Shopping Mall-3, Larisa’s fortress against the Angels…
Pyro Genesis Larisagelion, Saturday nights at 8:00.
@ Flushmaster:
But this is a fake ID from Hell. Top tier quality.
@ Mechwarrior:
anyone remember that EPIC scene from ghost rider 2 with the bloody huge digging machine on fire and shooting fireballs?….ok, it was the only thing worth watching of the entire movie, but that scene rockked!!
So the angels are the enemy… well, time to get my sword and Demon Summoning Program. This is going to get nasty
